UNSPSC 51283800: Streptogramins

This classification denotes a class of natural cyclic peptide antibiotics produced by certain subspecies of streptomyces, hence the name STREPTO-GRAMIN, STREPTO-GRAMINS, and STREPTOGRAMINS. They include two structurally unrelated components, streptogramin group a and streptogramin group b, which generally act synergistically to inhibit bacterial growth.

UNSPSC 51283800 Streptogramins is a Class code that in practice covers pharmaceutical products and medical supplies procured by state and local health agencies, though recent activity shows the code tagged to a narrower range of acquisitions than its name suggests. State and local governments use this code to source antibiotics, naloxone, drug deactivation systems, and related pharmaceuticals through piggyback contracts, cooperative purchasing agreements, and competitive bidding. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments of health and county health departments, which leverage existing vendor agreements and multi-agency consortiums to manage pharmaceutical inventory and support public health initiatives including emergency response and community health programs.

Illinois Department of Public Health awarded a $2,999,999.11 contract to Chartwell Rx LLC in August 2026 through the MMCAP Infuse cooperative purchasing vehicle for Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride 500mg tablets, using a 12-month initial term with two one-year renewal options. Seminole County, Florida issued an IFB in June 2026 (response deadline July 26, 2023) for 1,900 units of Naloxone and 800 Safe Drug Deactivation Systems annually with quarterly deliveries to the Seminole County Community Health Building; the procurement required E-Verify compliance and federal compliance conditions tied to potential FEMA funding. Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Illinois; both solicitations reflect health agencies sourcing critical pharmaceuticals and emergency medical supplies through formal competitive processes with fixed-fee pricing and multi-year terms.
